--- Quote from: Rocketman on 06 Feb 2009, 15:20 ---On a completely different note, I was rather amused that the "only country singer[Sven] likes" is apparently one of the popstar-like chicks who've been overrunning and corrupting actual good country music for the last few years.

When Sven first mentions her, he says that she wrote her own album that he likes. That is very untypical of the country music scene where acts have been booted out of Nashville for insisting on writing their own songs. It's loosening up finally, but for the most part producers are more interested in working the old-boy network and giving their buddies the writing gigs and tying up publishing royalties in house than doing what's right for the act.

A very notable exception is Taylor Swift, who writes nearly all of her own songs. And the ones she doesn't write by herself, she has a hand in. There are others, but she is the only one I can think of at the moment. And yes, I am a fan of her music.
Ghanima Atreides:
What amuses me most is how detached Sven seems through the entire process. :lol:
raoullefere:
Sven's probably in shock that he's actually weighing the cons of 'free' tail*.
On an unrelated note, for some reason it struck me just now how odd it is for a Lothario figure in a U.S. comic to be named 'Sven.' Sounds more like a stage Swede, i.e. someone who says things like 'Yumpin' Yimminy!" Progress, I suppose.
*Which doesn't exist. It's simply that Dora's been footing Sven's bills.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

My thoughts exactly. However, I grew up in the small town midwest and was thus inundated with it by every radio station for years. I've never been able to figure out the appeal of the music or understood the "culture" surrounding it.
